I know we cant get custom paint jobs etc etc yet i guess, but can we at least have some way to personalize our cars.

I was thinking to be able to slap a number on each car.

kinda like the RM'ed cars and karts.

Rims can only do so much..

What do you guys think?
 
An option to add numbers would be nice, it would make cup car racing more fun. Since we could use any car.
 
Racing stripes for me also. To be honest, a fully customizable livery editor would be great. Although I´m not much into those flamboyant tunner looks, I would like to have the option to paint all my cars in any color as long as its in black or white, without the need of that "paint chip" system.
Numbers... well yeah, I think it would be nice if you can paste small white numbers in the windows, like if they were tape. You know, like when you take your real life car on a weekend cup.
 
For me GT5 has everything all the other racing games for the PS3 lacked. It really is in my opinion the most complete racing game. With that being said I really would like to see more customization options for the cars. I need to personalize my vehicles. Ferrari Challenge did have a pretty decent way of doing it and I wouldnt mind seeing something like that implemented. I was able to design and mostly copy some great racing liveries.
 
2010 release after 5 years of development, and I can't even preview my car's appearance after a paint job before painting it. This sim needs alot more than adding a number to individual cars. I would prefer a preview of paint jobs, any rim on any car (yes I know bolt patterns don't match up in real life, you also get killed if you hit a wall at 250mph in real life), liveries for cars, more cars, community generated content, the list goes on. Everything they have released as updates as of yet has simply been... from GT5P. Don't get me wrong I love this game. The actual racing simulation is awesome. But much, much, much work is needed on the customization/appearance aspect of this game.

Edit: Oh, and don't tell me customization is too much for Gran Turismo. Look at the level of customization in Mod Nation Racers. While I do not play this game anymore, it certainly is above the crowd as far as customization goes, both for tracks and cars. If you have never played it, youtube it. I would much rather have that track creator over the GT5 track editor. Because let's face it, I don't want to sit there and simply change number values on a pre-generated track. LET ME CREATE THE DAMN TRACK.

Ferrari Challenge was very good. I made an F355 in the livery of Jean Alesi's 1993 F1 Car.
 
RM'ed cars and some of the Original GT LM Race cars can have custom numbers, just go to the car selection menu. You'll see a small [99], click and go ahead.

I didn't read the OP properly:guilty:

Ofcourse, I would love to be able to customize cars a bit more. Racing numbers and full livery editor would be amazing.

I find it kind of odd how some cars have NO numbers, like the FTO Super Touring Car. It'll be cool if we can change those cars like we can with RM'd cars.
 
Great idea! I would love to number my cars. Actually, all cars should have the number option; and the race cars, changeable numbers.
 
I kind of thought the numbering thing was a good idea and did it for my cars, I must admit I can't claim to have noticed anyone else's numbers when playing against other people online.
 
i would love to have a full livery editor, but i think more aspects of the game can be enhanced first (gameplay etc) adding Numbers shouldnt be tooo big of a challenge to code.

I think it's been said that livery editor won't happen because sony don't want trademarked or obscene liveries out there.

This can't be the case.
What about modnation racers? Or blackops emblem editor? Or even having the ability to have voice chat or text chat online?

Do Microsoft and T10 have problems with Forza's editor?
 
Fully customisable livery would be cool as it would enable me to replicate my own teams liveries.

I don't like stupid paint or liveries but the option would be nice at least anyway to do what you want.

Would prefer to see more cars before any more custom paints and liveries though
 
What bothers more than lack of livery editor is the fact that upgrading your car has almost zero consequences on the cars appearance.

For example you buy a new car from the dealership, you fully tune so that it now delivers two times the horsepower, you lighten it up, you install all rigidity improvements yet the exterior appearance of the car is the same (only the exhaust and the hood changes), the cockpit is the same, there is no roll-cage installed etc.

Shouldn't at least weight reduction and rigidity improvement get rid of the chrome detailing of the car, install a roll-cage, replace the leathers inside the cockpit with carbon fiber, install racing instruments, get rid of passengers seats, install bucket seats, replace more body panels with lighter materials etc? And I shouldn't even mention the ludicrous aero parts in GT-Auto:
"Huge ugly big rear wing" + "Cockpit with leather and no roll cage" = "Pimp my Ride"!

Sure there are racing modifications but very few cars have them. And they feel more like a completely new car, not like upgrading your car bit by bit and transforming it to a racing machine. In other words I find car upgrading in GT5 unsatisfying, sloppy and unrealistic and I believe the addition of a livery editor (or a number decal system) to the current system wouldn't make the car upgrading any better. Actually it would make it even more ridiculous.

But hey, quantity over quality, isn't that what GT5 is all about?

I would really like to have the option to use my PSN id as a personalised number plate on each car. Now that would rock.
